Welcome to Adorama, how can i help you?
I am replacing a SJCAM 5000 Elite and wonder if there is a better camera for the price or
similar for less $
Jack S.
Let me take a look for you
give me a sec
no prob
its also called a SJ5000x
Jack S.
The yac-300 you were looking at has similar features but it is only 12mp as it looks like the sj5000 is 14mp
I am still comparing
no prob
I watching a netflix movie about traditional irish pubs
interesting but sloooow
Jack S.
the yac-300 also seems to be rated to a deeper depth at 100'
but other than that it seems to have similar features'
and less expensive too
ok
Jack S.
dod you have a budget for me to keep in mind?
do you know how they compare with durability?
under 150
Jack S.
In my opinion they look about the same in durability.
ok, the yac has a 1.5 in display
Jack S.
yes and so does the other one
sj5000x is 2 inch
Jack S.
one sec
sj5000x is goprog compatable, cant see if yac is
Jack S.
ok I was looking at the sj5000, not the x
the x seems to have a bit more. It has 4k as the other does not
and yes the display is 2"
ok, just trying for due diligence
Jack S.
in y opinion the x is superior from the looking at the specs
has great reviews too
I thought you said you were replacing one
yes, flooded it, so want something similar
or same
its cool, some funcky stuff with programming but not too expensive
Jack S.
sorry I could not help you more.
no, you did, i appreciate it, thanks
Jack S.
you are very welcome
